On October 15, 2025, Leonardo DRS announced it had been awarded a U.S. Army contract to develop prototype Vehicle Integrated Power Kits (VIPKs). The contract focuses on creating on‑demand electrical power solutions for tactical vehicles, enabling mission‑critical systems such as communications, electronic warfare, and counter‑UAS without external power sources.
The VIPK prototype will be built around Leonardo DRS’s On‑Board Vehicle Power (OBVP) solution, known as TITAN, which can generate up to 120 kW of electrical power directly from a vehicle’s drivetrain. The high‑output, exportable power will support mobile command and control, missile defense launchers, radar arrays, directed energy weapons, and expeditionary power microgrids, whether the vehicle is moving or stationary.
This contract expands DRS’s electric power and propulsion portfolio and positions the company to capture additional Army power‑generation opportunities. By delivering a scalable, vehicle‑mounted power solution, DRS strengthens its competitive edge in the growing field of battlefield power infrastructure, aligning with the Army’s modernization priorities and potentially opening the door to future multi‑year contracts.
